Jeannie has spent all her life in the shadow of the North Sea. Working with freezing fingers to gut the herring, she follows the fleet south, travelling far from her Scottish home. When her father's trawler goes missing, Jeannie must face up to life on her own. But her fiery temper and fierce independence attract powerful and devious enemies. By standing up to the Hayes-Gorton family, she could be threatening the future of those she cares for the most.

Amidst the great social upheavals of the inter-war years, Jeannie must search again for the real love she has always denied herself...
